MLB Default Picks- Price: FanDuel -170 has 63.0% break-even; Pinnacle -167/+153 devigs to 61.3% (fair -158).

- Aaron Judge (.372 wOBA, .399 xwOBA) is on the IL; the one-point lineup penalty may understate his absence.
Fade the Arm- Nick Martinez: 3.98 xERA vs 3.10 ERA, 107.9 xFIP-minus, and 5.27 last-three ERA signal regression risk.
- Martinez's allowed xwOBA jumps from .2708 in TTO1 to .3501 in TTO2; the Yankees lineup is confirmed and active.
- Most likely loss: Judge-less New York strands traffic while Tampa's fresh bullpen protects a low-scoring game after Martinez exits.
Parity Desk- Fried xFIP 3.59 vs Martinez 4.47: signed +0.88; Yankees vs RHP xWoba .3248 clears the .315 offense gate.

- Yankees projected lineup owns a 24.1% strikeout rate versus right-handed pitching.

Snapp Decision of the Day- Martinez has a 5.45 K/9 season baseline, rising to 6.15 over his last five and 7.24 over his last three.
- The confirmed Yankees lineup supplies nine active participants; Martinez is confirmed active and not on the IL.
- Martinez's own 15.1% season strikeout rate is low, and the matchup adjustment is doing much of the work.

- Confirmed top threes average .367 xwOBA vs RHP for New York and .359 vs LHP for Tampa Bay.
- First-inning pitcher shape is not dominant: Fried .213 BA/.301 K% and Martinez .195 BA/.183 K%; both allow walks and contact.
- Yankee Stadium carries a 121 HR park factor and 104 runs factor; full-game 7.5 is NOT a valid RFI reference because it answers a different innings distribution.
- First-inning samples are only 83 PA for Fried and 120 for Martinez; season platoon splits are not first-time-through samples.

- Rolling velocity is 86.31 mph (-1.50 vs 87.81 season) and spin 2,411 rpm (+139 vs 2,272); P/IP is below the 17.5 decay trigger, so no decay/leash override.
- Three-start sample; 5+ requires Fried to reach the strikeout threshold rather than merely pitch efficiently.
